Rocio Guillen of Eastvale was identified as one of the victims who were killed during the Route 91 Harvest Country Music Festival in Las Vegas on Sunday.

It has been reported that Guillen had 4 children and was engaged to Chris Jaksha. Re-ports also state she recently had a baby.

According to NBC news, Jesse Guillen, Rocio’s ex-hus-band and father of her children wrote: “Words can not explain how much it hurts me to see

the pain in my boys eyes when they found out that their mom was taken from them last night in Las Vegas by a senseless act of violence. Please hold your loved ones close. Life is too

Diamond Bar- LASD Dep-uties from the Walnut/Diamond Bar Station responded to a call regarding a man with a gun at the intersection of Diamond Bar Blvd and Fountain Springs Drive. The Deputies were able to apprehend the male sus-pect without any incident. Mark Hopper, a witness at the scene, said “he was driving down Dia-mond Bar Blvd when all of the sudden an unmarked police car sped past him on the road”. “The unmarked car headed straight towards a man walking down the street. When the man saw the car speeding towards him he put his arms out wide

and dropped something on the ground”, said Hopper. Hopper said “I couldn’t tell you what the object he dropped was I just know he dropped something”. Yesterday reporters at Our-WeeklyNews.com were con-tacted by Mary at Evergreen Springs Elementary School saying that the school was on lock down due to a deputy in-volved shooting. When con-tacted to verify the report the LASD deputy said that there was a call but there wasn’t any shooting. The deputies recov-ered the handgun at the scene. There weren’t any other reports about the man with the gun and thankfully no one sustained any injuries during the incident. ■

California – As kids, our par-ents warned us heavily to never ever walk in the middle of the street. It was viewed as a spot where no one could go. Howev-er, looking around today, it is clear to see that the sidewalk has be-come more of a suggestion than

a requirement. More and more people every day are walking just by the curb or close to in the mid-dle of the street. Even though it seems that this is simply just ac-cepted by the law, it is very much illegal and you can get cited.

A hero to me is a someone who is endowed with great strength. Someone who is ad-mired for their courage and their ability to act quickly. To me it is someone that gives a sense of security in a tragic sit-uation.

Thank you to all my heroes. To the heroic man (my guy) who bravely covered my body with his, as the bullets hit all around us. Thank you. To the woman who assured me that we were going to make it out alive. Thank you. To the wom-an who held my hand (Kim) as I screamed for Jesus to hold us all in his arms. Thank you. To the men who surrounded all of the woman with their bodies, shielding us from bullet after bullet.

Thank you. To the man (my guy) that spoke gently to me..assuring me that we needed to get behind the metal structure and to run as fast as I could when there was a break in the spraying of bullets. Thank you. To the man (my guy) who helped corral all of us girls be-hind the air conditioner. Thank you. To the woman who unbut-toned my shorts and let me cry like a baby for peeing my pants in fear.

Thank you. To the woman who let me leave the stall open to the bathroom because I didn't want to be in there alone. Thank you. To the men who let me come inside the men's re-stroom to wait for my guy be-cause I didn't want to be left be-

hind. Thank you. To the young girl who picked me up off the ground as I collapsed in total disbelief of what was truly hap-pening. Thank you. To the man who gave me water. Thank you. To the man (my guy) who stopped and helped a bleeding man and assured me that he was going to be okay. Thank you. To the woman who prayed with me for God's grace while we plugged our ears at the sound of the screaming and bullets. Thank you. To my sis-ter who has not stopped com-forting me. Thank you. And for the outpouring love and sup-port through texts and calls to check on us and offer help in any way. Thank you. I wish I can say thank you to each one of you that held me that night.

I am able to say thank you and hug my family and friends today. I am deeply humbled. But my heart feels so much guilt. While I continue to find strength to get through each day, many can't get through even a minute. Why did I sur-vive over the several others that did not? How can I smile today and give glory to God that I am here when others ar-en't? My heart is broken and I do not know if I will ever be the same. This has taken the very best of me and taken my security away. My heart aches for all those who have lost their loved ones. Your pain is indescribable and I am so very sorry that you are hurting. I will continue to pray for each of you to find peace. We may never know the answer why but one thing I do know is that LOVE conquers all.

My love..thank you for being my hero. ■

Sources of a Down PaymentBy Nef Cortez

H o w much mon-ey does a person have to have in order to buy one’s home? The answer to

this question, of course, varies in many ways. One variable is in what city one decides to make their home. That decision, of course, will affect the price of homes that a person has to choose from. The price of a home, then, will impact greatly the amount of cash one must come up with as the Down Payment.

Another major variable will be whether a person is buy-ing as a First Time Home-owner, a Move-Up Buyer, or a Down-Sizing Buyer. By the very definition of a “First Time Homeowner”, this buy-er usually has a low level of savings. They are just get-ting started with their home ownership experience, and are usually in their mid to late twenties and into their mid-thirties. As I wrote be-fore, this group of buyers is usually busy getting started with both their careers and their family. The lower in-come earned by those just beginning their careers cou-

pled with the expenses of getting started in the raising of a family does not allow for the typical First Time Home-buyer to come up with a very large down payment.

One of the more commonly used loan programs for the first time homebuyer is the Federal Housing Administration 203B program. It is a loan in which a first time homeowner can pur-chase a home with as little as 3 ½ % down payment. In addi-tion to this type of loan, there are a few “grant” or “subsidy” programs which will also assist this buyer with an additional 2 % for the down payment. This facilitates the purchase of the First Time Homebuyer to fi-nance the purchase with as lit-tle as 1 % Down Payment.

The FHA loan limit for a Single Family Residence in Los Angeles County is $636.150.00. This means that a First Time Homebuy-er can purchase a home with a little as $16,500.00. With other grants or subsidies, this figure can end up as low as $6,500.00, making the pur-chase of a home very doable, as far as the Down Payment is concerned.

Photo Courtesy: GoogleOctober 9, 1967: Che Guevara is Executed

By History.com

On this day in 1967, social-ist revolutionary and guerilla leader Che Guevara, age 39, is killed by the Bolivian army. The U.S.-military-backed Bo-livian forces captured Guevara on October 8 while battling his band of guerillas in Bolivia and assassinated him the following day. His hands were cut off as proof of death and his body was buried in an unmarked grave. In 1997, Guevara’s re-

mains were found and sent back to Cuba, where they were reburied in a ceremony attend-ed by President Fidel Castro and thousands of Cubans.

Ernesto Rafael Guevara de la Serna was born to a well-off family in Argentina in 1928. While studying medicine at the University of Buenos Ai-res, he took time off to travel around South America on a motorcycle; during this time, he witnessed the poverty and oppression of the lower class-es. He received a medical de-

Wireless Tips for Boomers

By StatePoint

There are currently more than 93 million Americans in the U.S. over age 55, accord-ing to Census data, and the vast majority (74 percent) of them have a smartphone. And that number keeps growing.

In addition, Baby Boom-ers spend an average of 149 minutes a day on their smart-phones -- about as much as smartphone-obsessed Millen-nials at 171 minutes per day.

Despite these figures, and the fact that members of this generation were the inventors of the wireless industry, many mobile plans for Americans aged 55 plus are still designed for a time before the Internet. They come with limited min-utes, and no data.

“The fact is that many ‘se-nior’ plans offer limited ser-vices that only work with basic phones. This doesn’t make sense for most of today’s mod-ern, mobile adults,” says John Legere, CEO and president of T-Mobile. “Unfortunately, many carriers and plans treat these generations like they’re stuck

in the past.”But even without the dumb-

ed down “senior” plans, emp-ty nesters aren’t given great options. When kids leave the house and are off the family plan, most major carriers raise the per line cost by almost 60 percent, costing customers a hefty sum when it’s time to pay the bill each month.

So how can you find the best deal for your needs? When looking for a plan, consider the following.

• How many lines do you need? Virtually every wireless provider has a lower per line cost for four lines instead of two. So, if you only need two lines, look for a plan that won’t penalize you for not having four.

• If you’re a frequent traveler -- whether it’s for business or pleasure -- ensure your wire-less plan offers the perks you need to avoid sticker shock on your bills when you get home. T-Mobile ONE includes com-pelling perks for travelers – like an hour of free Gogo in-flight Internet on domestic flights and high-speed data in Mexico and Canada, and data and texting

from 140 countries and desti-nations around the world. It’s a good choice for those on-the-go.

• How much do you use your mobile phone? Be hon-est with the number of minutes you spend making calls and the amount of data you use. Lately, unlimited plans have become incredibly affordable and popular again. If you don’t want to ever have to worry about your data use, it may be time to take advantage of these deals and switch to an unlimit-ed plan.

Consider new options like the recently launched T-Mobile ONE Unlimited 55+, which is designed specifically for today’s modern mobile adults. For just $60 a month, with taxes and fees included in the price, those who are 55 and older can get T-Mobile ONE, with unlimited talk, text and 4G LTE data, as well as the already mentioned other perks. It also comes with the ability to use your number on other compatible phones, tablets and PCs. It’s limited to those aged 55 and older, so

3 Things Everyone Living With Arthritis Should Know

By StatePoint

Arthritis includes more than 100 rheumatic diseases and conditions that affect joints. If you are living with arthri-tis, here are a few things you should consider.

1. Arthritis can affect peo-ple of all ages. Many people think of arthritis as an affliction that only affects adults as they reach old age or athletes who have suffered an injury (known as osteoarthritis). Although the incidence of arthritis does in-crease with age, younger peo-ple can also be affected by the disease. Autoimmune forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, often strike people by the time they are middle-aged. Overall, it’s estimated that nearly one-fourth of all adults in the Unit-ed States (22.7 percent, 54.4 million) have doctor-diagnosed arthritis. Seven percent of 18-44 year olds and 29 percent of 45-64 year olds report doc-tor-diagnosed arthritis, accord-ing to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

2. You can now track your condition better and get sup-port. Being diagnosed with a lifelong, chronic disease like arthritis can be overwhelming. Finding support, from friends, family, colleagues and online communities can help. For example, ArthritisPower, ac-cessed online or downloaded as a free mobile app for an-droid and iPhone, allows peo-ple with all forms of arthritis to track symptoms and treatments to see how they are doing over time. Users can send their re-sults to doctors in advance of appointments to encourage more personalized and produc-tive discussions. Note that Ar-thritisPower is a research reg-istry. That means people must sign an informed consent to donate their data to research-ers and learn more about other specific research studies an-

nounced in the app. The more people who participate in the registry, the more scientists can discover about arthritis. To learn more, visit arthritispower.org.

3. Surgery can help. In healthy joints, cartilage covers the ends of bones, allowing them to move smoothly and without pain. When arthritis (all forms) wears away or damages the protective cartilage, and oth-er non-surgical treatments have proved unsuccessful, joint re-placement (usually of the knee or the hip) is typically recom-mended, according to the Amer-ican College of Rheumatology.

When an orthopedic surgeon replaces a joint, it involves remov-ing worn out cartilage from both sides of the joint, followed by re-surfacing of the joint with a metal and plastic replacement implant that looks and functions much like a normal joint. Over the past two decades, the safety and effective-ness of surgery, and the variety of hip and knee joint replacement devices has improved, thanks to research driven by surgeons and device makers. What’s missing, say experts, is a better under-standing of patient experiences and preferences, particularly re-garding what they value when making the decision to undergo surgery, pick a surgeon, and se-lect a device.

“The good news is that this research is underway by pa-tient-led research communities, such as ArthritisPower,” says W. Benjamin Nowell, Ph.D., Director of Patient-Centered Research at CreakyJoints, the online patient support community.

If you need joint surgery, it’s im-portant that your preferences are central to your decision making at every step of the way, from tim-ing of surgery, surgeon, implant device and recovery plan. Make sure to ask questions, get sec-ond opinions, and seek sup-port. Surgery and recovery can be hard, but talking about them shouldn’t be. ■

A People, Not a Steeplechurch over the past 50 years. There were some pictures of people that I did not recognize. And, there were dozens and dozens of photos of people that I did know personally. These pictures brought back many special memories. Pictures of church dinner-dances and baby dedications. Pictures of summer Vacation Bible School programs and baptisms at the beach in Corona Del Mar. Pic-tures of Couple's Retreats and Christmas programs and Eas-ter services.

One of the things I noticed was how young we all looked 20, 30, 40 years ago. It was also fun to see the different hair styles and the different clothes that people wore. The cars in the parking lot looked different, too.

I was reminded that a church is a group of people not a build-ing or a steeple. Certainly, I am thankful for our facilities. But, the real core of our church is the people. Faithful people who have attended regular-ly, served faithfully and given generously. People of all ages and stages of life - children, students, single adults, married couples, widows and widowers.

The people who share a com-mon goal to know Jesus and make Him known.

I suppose that we all need to be reminded from time to time, that it is the people in our lives that are really important. It is not the size of our homes or the success of our careers or the level of our education. We should value the people in our lives not the volume of our pos-sessions.

Let me encourage you to express your love and appreci-ation to the people in your life. Maybe it is time to write a note to an old friend and tell them how much they have meant in your life. You will be glad you did and they will too!

Let me again extend an invita-tion to you to come and celebrate our church's birthday on Satur-day, October 21st. There will be free food and activities starting at 1:00 PM with the main event from 4:30 - 6:00 PM. Check out our web site for more details. I hope we will see you there!

There is No Win in Quit

By Mark Hopper

I have shared in my last few articles that our c h u r c h ' s

50th birthday party is coming up on Saturday, October 21st. I was asked to look through some old photos and put to-gether a short visual history of our church.

I enjoyed my assignment and spent several hours look-ing through many photos that went back to early days of Dia-mond Bar. There were pictures of the original Diamond Bar Ranch property. In the 1970's our church held Sunday Ser-vices in one of the buildings there. I also found pictures of the construction of each of the church building on the site from the 1980's and 1990's. There were also photos of the park-ing lot expansion and the new children's play yard. There was a lot of building activity during those years.

As I looked through hun-dreds of photographs, I was reminded that many faithful people have been part of our

“Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing, but nobody else does.” -Stuart Henderson Britt

By Sean Ortiz

Have you ever started some-thing and quit? Maybe it was difficult or you believed you could not do it. Why do we need to learn to not Quit… In our marriages, with our chil-dren, in our relationship with Christ.Because there is no Win in Quit. We won’t grow. We won’t see the victory. We will miss seeing God do a miracle. We will miss out on a bless-ing. So here are 2 things that need to happen if we don’t quit. Character is built. Mathew 5:33-77 Jesus describes that

our yes be yes and our no be no. If we say we are going to do something, then do it and don’t wiggle out of it. Jesus knew that the culture of the day was to say yes, I will do that on my children or on my mother. It was like crossing your fingers behind you back. In other word if you commit then finish the commitment. So, let your Yes be Yes. In the difficult times, it builds character as you com-plete your commitment. Con-sistency is shown. Our Past is a Predictor of our Present Jer-emiah 12:5 talks about if you can’t fight the men on foot how

can you handle the fight when the men come on horses. In other words, if you can handle the first circumstance you can handle the next challenge. So not quitting builds and shows consistency. If we decide not to Quit we build Character and Consistency and then we will see the Win. So do not give up in the hard times and LET GO AND LET GOD…….be encour-aged.

gree in 1953 and continued his travels around Latin America, becoming involved with left-wing organizations. In the mid 1950s, Guevara met up with Fidel Castro and his group of exiled revolutionaries in Mexi-co. Guevara played a key role in Castro’s seizure of power from Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959 and later served as Castro’s right-hand man and minister of industry. Guevara strongly opposed U.S. domi-nation in Latin America and ad-vocated peasant-based revolu-tions to combat social injustice in Third World countries. Cas-tro later described him as “an artist of revolutionary warfare.”

Guevara resigned—some say he was dismissed—from his Cuban government post in April 1965, possibly over differences with Castro about the nation’s economic and foreign policies. Guevara then disappeared from Cuba, traveled to Africa and eventually resurfaced in Bolivia, where he was killed. Following his death, Guevara achieved hero status among people around the world as a symbol of anti-imperialism and revolution. A 1960 photo taken by Alberto Korda of Guevara in a beret became iconic and has since appeared on countless posters and T-shirts. However, not everyone considers Gue-vara a hero: He is accused, among other things, of ordering the deaths of hundreds of peo-ple in Cuban prisons during the revolution. ■

History 101History from page 3

21956 states, “No pedestrian may walk upon any roadway outside of a business or resi-dence district otherwise than close to his or her left-hand edge of the roadway.”

“Walking in the street is a very citable offense,” said LA County Sheriff Captain Alfred Reyes, “it’s about safety more than anything else.”

The Captain explained that cross walks are in place for a reason, and so are sidewalks.

“It’s definitely not wise for anyone to walk in the street,” Reyes added, “the best prac-tice are utilizing sidewalks for pedestrian traffic, sidewalks are safest, do not place your-self in harms way.”

Runners and walkers can sometimes use bike lanes, and bike lanes may not be always safe for runners or pedestrians, but no lane is definitely not safe. Safest utilize the sidewalk.

At night always wear re-flective clothing, joggers and bikers, Captain Reyes recom-mends. “If you choose to jog in a bike lane there is always the distracted drivers element. It’s amazing how we see sooo many people look at phones, even on the freeway,” he said.

You could get a ticket for walking in the street

Just a few months ago, Pas-tor Mark Lee from Vantage Point Church in Eastvale, sis-ter church from Diamond Bar’s E-Free Church, was running in the bike lane at 9 am when he was struck by a passing truck’s right side view mirror. He spend weeks in rehabilitation and is still reluctant to do certain ac-tivities. The driver was cited as being at fault. Fortunately he delivered an inspiring sermon on the importance of cherishing your life.

The Sheriff’s Department will cite runners and bikers in the bike lane who do not wear reflective clothing and bikers who do not have reflectors and a headlight. You are required to have lights on your bike at night.

Many people do not get tick-eted for walking in the street and it appears because of pri-ority. In fact, if you are getting stopped, odds are the officer is concerned about your safe-ty. Sure, walking on a roadway might not get you a serious tick-et, but it might get you a serious injury, even death.

In Eastvale, California (bor-dering Chino), a 28 year old woman was killed last month when she was struck by a vehi-cle. 28 year old Janine Chavez of Eastvale was walking in the roadway, not inside a cross-

walk, Eastvale Sheriff’s officials said. The Eastvale death hap-pened about 7:45 p.m., Chavez was hit by a southbound Hon-da Accord driven by a 51-year-old Ontario man, sheriff’s offi-cials said in a press release.

Chavez was pronounced dead at the scene. It has not yet been determined who’s at fault but the report stated she was not in a sidewalk and ap-peared to be walking in the road. Details are being gath-ered, and according to the Sheriff’s Department, avoiding the street can avoid injuries and fatalities.

According to everybodywalk.org, over 4,500 people in Amer-ica are killed just crossing the street. The website also claims that over 68,000 people are in-jured every year from crossing the street. This is even worse in crowded cities like New York, where it is estimated that a pe-destrian is killed or injured by a vehicle every two hours.

The only one who can pre-vent such actions taking place is the pedestrian. Using side-walks and obeying traffic signs will keep you safe and lawful. If you want to know more about other laws in the California Ve-hicle Code, dmv.ca.gov has the complete Vehicle Code on their website. (Chandler Holloway contributed to this story). ■

for both realtors to split. That’s a savings of $10,000!!

Rivera’s Sellers love the fact that he offers a discount-ed commission, but with full service. Rivera’s offer of 4% Total Commission for Sellers includes 2.5% to the Buyer’s Agent and 1.5% to Rivera’s office. Most Realtors negoti-ate a 6% commission because they have to split the fees with their brokerage. But, as Rivera is the Broker, he passes on the savings to the Seller. This will save Sellers thousands of dol-lars in commission fees. His team offers full service for that discounted rate including high quality flyers, professional pho-tos, open houses (as allowable by Seller), and extended adver-tising coverage on the Internet and social media.

Now, more about what you’re getting from Gil Rivera at SellY-ourCasa.com: It’s important to know all aspects of your busi-ness. For Gil Rivera from Sel-lYourCasa.com, he absolutely knows every aspect of buying

GRivera from page 1and selling a home. He is a reliable, experienced, and an affordable Realtor, Broker, and Certified Appraiser.

Rivera sells houses, condos, and two to four unit investment properties in Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Orange counties. He just re-cently sold another home in Eastvale last month. He also does real estate appraisals for banks, estates, trusts, divorc-es, attorneys, refinances, home purchases, and probate/inheri-tance for tax purposes. In addi-tion, Rivera has assistants that work with him who are fluent in Spanish and Chinese, helping to reach people of different di-alects all over Southern Califor-nia.

Rivera’s philosophy is to “treat my clients the way I want to be treated.” In fact, Rivera said that he became a Realtor because he did not like the way his Realtor treated him when he was buying his home. Rive-ra shows respect for his clients at all times. He listens to what they say, so that he can better serve them.

Buyers into a sale. Rivera said, “I always tell Buyers: ‘You will know right away when we walk into the house that’s meant for you’. Whether it takes a week or months, my Buyers will al-ways be satisfied with their pur-chase and never pressured into it.”

Rivera’s current promotion is, “We will SELL your house in four weeks at highest value! We only request a listing period of four weeks, while most other Realtors ask for a six month list-ing.” Rivera says that “Buyers need to know that they do not need to pay their Realtor any fees for representing them on a purchase. The Buyer’s agent is paid by the Seller, not the Buyer.

the coffee? She was on high alert because even though she couldn’t see anything she had done wrong, she knew all too well that didn’t mean he wouldn’t.

Tracy lived through nine years of physical, mental and emotional abuse from the one person that promised to love her forever. During her night-mare she had left more than a few times and not just for a day or two either. She had rented apartments on 2 separate oc-casions and was gone for over a year and a half one of those times. There was intensive

counseling, training and count-less tears and a belief that true change had taken place in her husband only to be disappoint-ed again. “The last time I left I never looked back again” said Tracy. “I have two daughters and I wanted them to grow up knowing what a healthy rela-tionship should look like.

Talking with Tracy Evanson today there isn’t any outside evidence that she lived in fear of upsetting the man she called “husband” for nine years. She has two college degrees, one a Masters in Human Behavior and speaks with the confidence one would expect from a pro-fessional woman with 2 college

degrees. The outside had to be rebuilt from the inside, what you see today has been rebuilt and reinforced into the strong, confidant, independent ministry leader you see before you.

In 2013 after Tracy decided to get out of her marriage and stay out this time she started the non-profit organization, Healed Women Heal. Her hope is to “creat a solid group in the community to come togeth-er to be a voiced for the silent crime of domestic violence and teen dating violence and bring awareness to the community”. “It is all about awareness, Tracy said, too many people don’t un-derstand that there are differ-

ent types of domestic abuse”. “Most people only associate vi-olence with domestic abuse but physical isn’t the only type and quite often the violence come after the emotional, and verbal abuse wears you down”.

In the beginning I only wanted to help the victims of domestic vi-olence, I had no interest in fixing the perpetrators. Then she was asked to speak at a mens pris-on, she declined. God wouldn’t let her off of the hook about this for some reason and finally she accepted the invitation. That showed me a whole new side of

Chino resident awarded for braveryBravery from page 1

the problem Tracy said. A lot of these men were abused them-selves and didn’t even recognize their actions as abuse”. It helped me see that it is much harder to work with a broken person than it is to educate to prevent the abuse from happening. Like she said awareness through educa-tion is the key.
